According to a sheriff’s office report, Reeves spoke to Oulson during the movie previews, then got up and informed management. When Reeves returned to his seat “additional words were exchanged” and Oulson threw a bag of popcorn at Reeves.

Reeves told investigators that Oulson struck him in the face with an unknown object, and that’s when he removed a gun from his pants pocket. The report said Reeves fired the gun and struck Oulson once in the chest and that he “was in fear of being attacked.”

Oulson, a Navy veteran, was originally from Mount Sterling, Ill. and came to Florida about 15 years ago. He moved to Land O’Lakes with his wife in 2010.
